Female, engaged, and finishing my engineering degree. First question I always get: "Will you quit your job when you have kids?" When I explain that my fiance wants to be the stay-at-home parent I am asked either a) if I feel guilty about "making" him to do that or b) if it's just because I'm the bigger earner. Is it totally impossible that he could legitimately be excited about raising our children?

Told my boyfriend's dad about an exciting business venture I'm starting. His reply, "I would rather have a granddaughter".

What a bore: Talk of babies instead of business is not what one ambitious woman wants to hear.

Guy the other day to his mates: "I'd WHACK her, BAM!" while passing me at the bus stop. "I'd destroy you," is also common.

Asked someone if they knew Dr Gass at the university. "What does he teach?" She's my sister-in-law.

Once when I browsed books by Iain Banks, a man said, the women's books are over there as he pointed towards the Mills & Boon.

Here's a litle secret: Not all women read Mills & Boon

Told by dad that I shouldn't be a music journalist because I'm female and it's no life for a girl to lead.

My boss told me he stopped counting on/considering me when he found out I was pregnant.

The Everyday Sexism Project exists to catalogue instances of sexism experienced by women on a day to day basis. It now has more than 20,000 entries and is set to expand globally. They might be serious or minor, outrageously offensive or so niggling and normalised that women don’t even feel able to protest. By sharing stories, sexism is shown to exist on a daily basis and that it is a valid problem to discuss as opposed to being wrongly referred to as 'banter'.
